After the elevator door opened, there was also a tall beauty wearing flesh-colored stockings in a gray OL outfit standing at the door, it can be seen from the costume and dress that this beauty is much more beautiful than the three beauties at the consultation desk downstairs just now, after Zheng Xudong and Sean came out of the elevator, the beauty at the consultation desk did not come down, but went downstairs directly by elevator.

"Mr. Zheng, Mr. Sean, hello, I am President Ou Zhaolun's secretary, JANE (Jane), our president is waiting for you, please come with me. The beauty stretched out a pair of small hands and shook hands with Zheng Xudong and Sean respectively, and then turned sideways in front of her to lead the way into the corridor.

The corridor is about fifteen meters long, turning a right-angle bend to the left, what appears in front of me is a solid wood door with a height of four meters and a width of three meters painted red, and the beautiful secretary Jane knocked three times on the door, "Knock, knock, knock", and then I heard a thick voice from inside, "COME IN, PLEASE!"

The seemingly heavy door was gently pushed open by the female secretary, with the opening of the door, a huge space of three hundred meters appeared in front of you, a large glass curtain wall appeared in front of you after entering the door, you can just see the panoramic view of the Huangpu River and the Bund outside, the furnishings in the house are streamlined to the extreme, one side behind the door is the sofa, the coffee table, and the wine table, the other side is a large bookshelf, and then there is a huge boss desk fifteen miles away from the door, there is nothing in the huge space between the door and the boss desk, giving people a very atmospheric feeling。 Stepping on the gray and translucent spotless floor tiles, Zheng Xudong could even see JANE's black lace small neene in front of him, and with Zheng Xudong's eyes, he could even see a few naughty little hairs from the reflection of the floor tiles.

Zheng Xudong hurriedly gathered his mind, otherwise his younger brother would have reacted for a while, and he would have made a big fuss.

Coming to the five-meter-long, two-and-a-half-meter-wide Taipan, a middle-aged man with black hair and a height of 1.8 meters stood up from the boss's chair, he first took off his rimless crystal glasses, and then walked around to the front of the pan in a few steps, and took the initiative to stretch out his hand and said: "Welcome to the Huaxia Wonder Boy, and your lawyer Sean, I didn't expect you to work for Zheng now, and say hello to President Ivanka and Mr. Trump for me!"

A few words made Zheng Xudong feel that in just a few minutes, Citibank must have done a lot of work, and understood him and Sean to the extreme, giving people a feeling of cordiality and spring breeze.

"President Ou Zhaolun, good morning, I didn't expect my micro name to enter your sight. Zheng Xudong said modestly.

President Ou Zhaolun held Zheng Xudong's hand and said with a smile: "You are now a well-known star in Europe and the United States, even my daughter is your fan, you are called a brain-dead fan in Huaxia, right, in fact, I am too, you wait a minute, I will show you something." As he spoke, he returned to the back of his desk, opened the drawer below, and took out two beautifully bound books from it and came to Zheng Xudong, "Look, this is just from the United States, your newly published novel, I read it, but I like your novel "House of Cards" more, oh my God! It's unbelievable that you, a Chinese person, can write about the dirty, dirty, and disgusting things in the Americanized Washington White House and Capitol Hill so vividly, which is not surprising if it is written by an old politician, but I didn't expect it to be written by you, a young and gentle teenager, it is so amazing, and it is worthy of the title of the Chinese wonder boy. Come, sign my book, and I'll mail him to my daughter, and she'll die of joy!"

Ou Zhaolun took Zheng Xudong's hand as he spoke, came to the sofa behind the door and took a seat, took out the limited-edition Parker gold pen in his suit and handed it over.

Zheng Xudong took the two novels, and he could see that the novel "House of Cards" had obviously been read many times, and some pages were even folded, Zheng Xudong turned the title page and wrote in flowery English on the second page: "To my friend Mr. Ou Zhaolun, President of Citigroup China, I wish him all the best in his career." Then the inscription was written under the stage name of Anton. ”

Ou Zhaolun handed over the novel "A Song of Ice and Fire" again, "Please write this book and give it to my daughter, her name is Mia." She's your fan. ”

Zheng Xudong also wrote in flowery English on the second page: "To my fan Miss Mia, I wish him eternal youth and beauty." The inscription is written by Anton. After finishing writing, he handed the two books to Ou Zhaolun and said, "I didn't expect that my first signature was for you and your daughter." ”

"YES, OH MY GOD, THAT'S SUCH AN HONOR!" HE SAID AND TURNED THE SECOND PAGE TO SEE ZHENG XUDONG'S FLOWERY ENGLISH, "OH MY GOD! Nowadays, many young people in Europe and the United States already use computers and cannot write English, let alone this classical flowery English. I'm going to save these two novels. As he spoke, he stood up and returned to the back of his desk, opened the drawer and put it in carefully before returning to the sofa and sitting down, "By the way, young man, what do you drink? I have authentic Blue Mountain coffee here, it's not easy to drink in your country!"

Zheng Xudong said with a smile: "I like to drink red wine, the red wine of the Margaux estate in France. President Ivanka of Blue Mountain Coffee gave me more than 100 pounds, and I think that taste is just that, which makes the world hype. ”

"Lawyer Sean, what do you drink?"

"I'll be the same as Mr. Zheng, thank you!"

Ou Zhaolun glanced at the beautiful secretary Zhen next to him, "Give me a drink too, I'm happy today!", Zhen understood the meaning and went to prepare red wine. Ou Zhaolun heard from Zheng Xudong's words that his relationship with Ivanka must be extraordinary, otherwise it would not be possible for Blue Mountain Coffee to send more than a hundred pounds, which is not a worthless thing like refined salt. "Actually, I feel average about Blue Mountain coffee, and I always think it tastes similar to Nescafe in the United States, but as you said, Blue Mountain has been stirred up by the Wall Street bastards. ”

The beautiful secretary put the three glasses of wine in front of everyone, and when she bent down in front of Zheng Xudong, she turned her head and looked at him affectionately, and then quickly stood up straight and gently took the door out of the president's office.

"Come, let's toast to meet the big star today!" Ou Zhaolun said, raising his glass.

Zheng Xudong knows that Europeans and Americans say that toasting is not what the Chinese mean by toasting, Europeans and Americans say that toasting is clinking glasses, and then drinking a small sip of meaning, Chinese say that toasting 90% means "a mouthful!"

After the three of them took a small sip, Ou Zhaolun began to enter today's theme, he changed his face just now with a spring breeze and amiability, but leaned on the sofa and crossed his legs, and said in broken Chinese with a serious face: "I don't know what Mr. Zheng is doing when he comes to our Citigroup today?"

Zheng Xudong smiled and said in fluent English: "President Ou Zhaolun, we can communicate in English." With that, he glanced at Sean next to him.

Sean handed him the briefcase that Zheng Xudong handed him in the car, Zheng Xudong put the briefcase on the mahogany coffee table, and then dialed the six-digit password lock on it, "click" After entering the correct password, there was a sound of mechanical transmission lock from inside the briefcase, Zheng Xudong opened the box, and then turned it over and sent it to President Ou Zhaolun.

Ou Zhaolun saw Zheng Xudong carefully open the box, and then turned it around and sent it to him, inside were two stacks of thick A4 paper-sized yellowed green paper, because he was leaning on the sofa a little far away, and he didn't have glasses yet, but he felt a little familiar, very familiar, he hadn't seen this thing for many years, or when he was a small clerk in a bank when he was young, his master took him to see a kind of this thing, and then he never saw it again. He thought to himself, "Could that be that?"

HE QUICKLY PUT DOWN HIS LEGS, LEANED FORWARD AND PULLED HIS HANDS OVER THE BRIEFCASE, AND THEN PICKED UP A PIECE OF GREEN PAPER FROM IT AND PUT IT IN FRONT OF HIS EYES TO LOOK AT IT CAREFULLY, WHEN HE SAW THE THINGS IN HIS HAND, HIS EXCITED HANDS TREMBLED, AND HIS VOICE TREMBLED A LITTLE: "OH MY GOD! JESUS CHRIST! IS THIS THE TREASURY BOND ISSUED BY THE UNITED STATES DURING WORLD WAR II! OF COURSE, I BELIEVE YES, I SAW IT WHEN I WAS YOUNG, BUT IT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO." He believed that it was impossible for Zheng Xudong to come to Citigroup's China headquarters with a bunch of forged things accompanied by Sean, an American barrister, but he still cautiously put the treasury bonds in his hand in the box and asked, "How much is here?"

"One hundred thousand each, one hundred in a bundle, ten million dollars. There were five bundles in each stack, a total of ten bundles, totaling $100 million. Zheng Xudong replied softly.

"OH GOD!, where did you get so many U.S. Treasury bonds?" Ou Zhaolun said and knew that he shouldn't have asked. Sure enough, at this time, I heard Sean say next to him: "My client can not answer this question, your bond is an anonymous, payable bond at maturity." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm sorry, I was a little excited just now. In this way, for the sake of prudence, I will let the professionals of the group first verify the authenticity of these bonds, and then calculate their current value, sorry for the work process, I hope Mr. Zheng will not mind!" Ou Zhaolun had already put away his arrogant expression just now at this time, and said with a respectful face.

"Please!" Zheng Xudong said.

Ou Zhaolun got up and bowed slightly to Zheng Xudong, turned around and came to the executive desk and pressed a red intercom button on it, "Go and call Harry Barnard in, hurry!"

Sure enough, the president spoke, and the people below came quickly, and the door was opened directly without knocking, and an old man who was almost seventy years old with white hair and a straight waist was still straight, the old man was wearing a straight suit, and there was a horse clip inside, and a gold watch chain was hung on the third button of the horse clip, and it was obvious that there should be an old pocket watch in his horse clip pocket, and at a glance this old man looked like an old English gentleman. "You're looking for me, President?"

"Yes, dear Harry, come and see this thing, I think only you can know if it's true or not. Saying that, Ou Zhaolun personally led the old man named Harry to the place where he was sitting just now, but he didn't sit and stood next to him.

After sitting down, Old Harry saw the contents of the box and immediately excitedly took out his glasses from his suit pocket and put them on, then picked up a bond, put his hand on the bond paper, and then stroked the bond with four fingers except for his thumb, like caressing the tender skin of a young girl, closed his eyes for more than ten seconds and said: "Really!" Then he opened his eyes and looked at it carefully, and said to himself: "How many years?" Let me think about it, the last time I saw it was in the spring of 1951, Citibank's headquarters in Paris, France, and it has been... ”
